 Rank aggregation methods for the Web
Furthermore, Kemeny optimal aggregations are essentially the only ones that simultaneously satisfy natural and important properties of rank aggregation functions, called neutrality and consistency in the social choice literature, and the so-called Condorcet property [Young and Levenglick 1978].
Borda's method [Borda 1781] is a "positional" method, in that it assigns a score corresponding to the positions in which a candidate appears within each voter's ranked list of preferences, and the candidates are sorted by their total score.
In fact, it is possible to show that no method that assigns a weights to each position and then sorts the results by applying a function to the weights associated with each candidate satisfies the Condorcet criterion (see [Young 1974]).

The purpose of Kemeny's paper is to define the concept of simplicity, state the rule of simplicity in terms of that definition, and show it's methodological advantages without any metaphysical presuppositions.
